On Thursday, May 29, 2014, 25-year-old Tyrek Connor was found shot once in the head in the back seat of a black Mercedes-Benz parked on the 500 block of East Armstrong Street in the East Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Police were called at 6:24 a.m.; paramedics pronounced Tyrek dead at 6:48 a.m. The car door had been partially open when officers arrived.

Investigators initially considered robbery a possible motive after Tyrek’s empty wallet was discovered on the ground outside the vehicle. Family members said he had recently celebrated his mother’s birthday with a trip to Atlantic City, posted about winnings and a new television on Instagram, and believed he may have been targeted by someone who knew about the cash. They described him as a hardworking father with no criminal record and noted he was wearing bedroom slippers, which led them to suspect he had not planned to be out for long.

The case later went cold; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The Philadelphia Police Department lists the shooting among unsolved homicides. Did anyone in East Germantown or Atlantic City remember seeing Tyrek, his Mercedes, or anyone following him around May 29, 2014?
